Alice Diamond coached me on all the aspects of a doctoral application for several universities, as well as interview preparation. She was so helpful, knowledgeable, efficient and deeply caring, considerate, very available, as well as very positive and encouraging. Application processes can be stressful, but every session with Alice was a treat! I felt in excellent hands and highly recommend working with her!

Alice helped me with edits on my essay as well as interview prep with mock interviews. She was encouraging, quick with feedback, thoughtful and truly helped me get into grad school. She was a key factor in my acceptance and I am very grateful. I highly recommend Alice.

We worked with Accepted for our oldest child's college application process. It was phenomenal! Our counselor and our daughter worked so very well together. She was encouraging, kind, knowledgeable, and just a super person with whom to work. Our daughter was accepted into 5 top colleges - we are thrilled!

I highly recommend Accepted and Alice Diamond.

Applying to a US masters program as an international student was daunting. Kelly helped me with the essay component of the application and provided tremendous help. She was able to help me position myself and showcase my abilities and fit with my dream school and program. I wouldn't have been able to articulate my strengths or aspirations that well without her guidance. Fully recommend for anyone that needs a professional help in making your essays that much better!

I just wanted to drop a note to sing the praises of Madison Searle.

Madison assisted our son James as he navigated the perilous college application process. Given the significant price tag, I had some initial misgivings about securing a consultant. Madison, however, quickly dispelled any reservations that I may have harbored.

His guidance and encouragement were phenomenal. The entire college admissions process, including the innumerable essays and personal statements, presents an inordinately stressful experience for today’s high school students. Madison delivered sage advice, offered key strategies and tactics for crafting original and engaging writing submissions, and instilled an overall sense of confidence . . . all of which reduced anxiety by several orders of magnitude. Indeed, I came to have such faith in Madison’s guidance that I acceded to my son’s desire to submit his early applications without any parental review whatsoever.

My son has always been exceedingly independent and it came as no surprise that he wanted to pursue the application process without family members, no matter how well-meaning, looking over his shoulder. So his early decision and early action applications all went out without me seeing a single word of any essay or a single line of the submission materials. I have enormous belief in my son and his capabilities, but I confess that this level of hands-off parenting gave me some apprehension.

But my son trusted Madison. And so did I.

When all was said and done, our son was accepted early decision to his first choice: the Cornell University College of Engineering.

Once accepted, my son finally shared his various essays and personal statements. They were well-crafted, articulate and absolutely genuine. That is, Madison had guided James in such a way that his true voice rang clear in each of the writing submissions. Too often, the essays and submissions from students with consultants come across as overly polished, stilted and artificial, reeking of aggressive re-writes and straining credulity. Madison ensured that James’s efforts reflected his own authentic vision and insights. No doubt that served James well with the admissions officers reviewing his submissions.

Finally, Madison expressed a genuine concern for James as he prepared his applications, making himself available as needed during the process and providing crucial feedback and assurance.

Madison represents an enormous asset to Accepted. I recommend him, wholeheartedly and without reservation, to other parents and students working through the college application process.

Though the price tag was steep, his contributions were worth every penny.

I want to truly thank Kelly for the amazing help and guidance she provided me during the application process! She was beyond amazing with sharing helpful tips and going above and beyond with returning edited documents almost immediately after I sent them for review. I was accepted to my first choice school, Johns Hopkins, for a master's degree in Public Health.
I could not have asked for a better counselor and it was a great pleasure meeting and working with her!!

I was working under a short timeline and Valerie from Accepted was able to review my grad school personal statement and offer suggestions. She is very communicative and responsive. I got accepted into the school of my choice and thank Valerie for her help!

Carol was very supportive and I knew she wanted the best for me. Sometimes I felt that she was not responsive to specific questions I had and some things would be overlooked. Other than that though, Carol was a great person to have supporting me during this process. I would say the most helpful I found her to be was for interview preparations. She was the reason I felt confident and ready to go for two of my interviews (and one school that I got accepted into!) Her mock interview was challenging, but exactly what I needed to prepare. Overall, I would definitely recommend accepted to others.
